The Wooden Table

Jam Master Jay (Run DMC), Mix Master Mike (The Beastie Boys), Geoff Barrow (Portishead), DJ Swamp (Beck), A-Trak (Kanye West) . . . There’s a reason that those big name acts are parenthesized and the links point to DMC championships instead of Coachella fashion articles. It’s because this is a blog about DJ’s. More specifically, our DJ, J-Squared (The Wooden …

Sundays are, by far, my favorite day to cook and eat. I’m not exactly sure what it is, it probably has a lot to do with my fond childhood memories of sizzling longanisa, garlic spiked fried rice and yolky fried eggs. Or maybe it’s just the tempo of the day, Sundays have a nice rhythm about them, somewhere between Nouvelle …

If you’re looking for an inspired food experience, look no further than the culinary stylings of Dominique Crenn. And yes I do mean INSPIRED and yes I absolutely do mean STYLE. Just take a look at that stunning shot of her tattoo up there. Style is just one of those things that when you have it, it permeates everything you …

So this post was supposed to be about how awesome our new business cards look but, being a designer, I’m my own worst critic (or at least I try to be). So, I’m redesigning them for the two-hundred and twenty-second time. But The Wooden Table is long overdue for some collateral. I gathered up some shots I’ve taken, consulted our …

We’re a couple of days away from presenting the apps at our client tasting for our 4/2 event. Now that we’ve nailed down the menu we’re into investigating plating techniques. Below are a few interesting plates we ran across. Ubuntu Ubuntu Noma Noma Noma Luce

Hopefully everyone had a nice weekend. The Wooden Table spent it waist deep in some of the craziest powder that

They say a picture is worth a thousand words and sometimes I think I’m too verbose. So, here are a few shots from our recent pescetarian meal (okay so I just couldn’t resist captioning each shot with a few words anyways). Enjoy! We froze some out of season, yes out of season tomatoes (for the mild tartness), pureed them and …

Being a graphic designer, I’m prone to deadline induced bouts of creative block. A lot of great design blogs run posts that are basically lists of cool things that their contributors have run across, that other designers might be able to draw inspiration from. Since our next 5 course isn’t until 4/17 (yup, we’re available for sunday suppers), I’ve been …

The name “Pound Cake” is derived from the fact that the original pound cake recipe called for 1 lb each of butter, sugar, eggs, and flour. When many people couldn’t read, the simple 1:1:1:1 proportions (and pneumonic friendly name) made it simple to remember the recipe. I’ve definitely eaten more than my fair share of pound cakes and even tried …

We’ve been lucky enough to be given the opportunity to take a miniaturized version of The Wooden Table on the road! A friend of The Wooden Table is celebrating his 3rd decade in very sophisticated 30 year-old fashion, with good food. It’ll be a vegetarian affair and we want to put the same amount of thought and technique into these …
